She donated exactly 23,373 pounds (25,925 euros) to the student. Mario wants to study mathematics at the university in Warwick, England, but doesn’t have enough money to finance her studies himself. She first asked companies for help and threw notes into mailboxes. Because she couldn’t raise enough money, she started a crowdfunding campaign on the Internet. This is how Swift became aware of the student. “I want to give you the rest of your target amount,” Swift wrote to Mario. “Good luck with everything you do! Lots of love, Taylor. ”The singer did not comment on her donation herself, but liked a post on the story from a friend of Mario’s on social media. Mario himself said on BBC television that Swift’s donation “blew her away”. The pop star’s generosity is “a blessing” for him.
Taylor Swift helped raise £ 40,000 goal
According to her appeal for donations on the crowdfunding platform GoFundMe, Mario had only moved from Portugal to London 4 years ago. Although she didn’t speak English at first, she only got good grades in school. “Unfortunately, my father died and my mother is still in Portugal,” reported the 18-year-old. “Moving away from her wasn’t easy, but from my family’s point of view, the sacrifice was worth it.” She has now reached her goal of £ 40,000 for housing and living expenses for 4 years thanks to Swift’s donation.
According to US media reports, Swift has often made spontaneous donations. During the corona crisis, she sent a package of fan items to a Utah nurse and supported a closed record store in Nashville.
